As evidence one need only mention The Disinherited Mind and Thomas Mann: The Ironic German. These are works which illuminate the literary consciousness at many levels, combining scholarly precision with highly adventurous forays into the psychology and artistic development of their subjects, and which manage, as so many learned studies do not, to capture a particular sensibility and its relevance to culture in general. Alive, original, acute, Hellers judgments have moreover a wide philosophical range, a talent eminently displayed in the seven superb essays under discussion here. Two of them tackle the thorny area of Romanticism and Realism and show the interlocking paradoxical nature of each. Three of them consider the meaning of Hegel, Nietzsche and Wittgenstein especially as reflected through the dilemma of human inwardness, whether in Hamlet, Rilkes Elegies, or in religious, historical, philological questions of salvation and ethics. The first essay elaborates on the various versions of the Faust legend as encountered in Marlowe, Goethe and Mann, and the second achieves the extraordinary feat of making Schillers poetic dramas and \"\"Beautiful Soul\"\" ideal a fascinating and moving experience. The whole collection is one of imposing dimensions, profound, gracefully written, thorough.\u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/www.kirkusreviews.com\/book-re...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents:\u003cbr\u003eFausts damnation: the morality of knowledge.--\u003cbr\u003eIn two minds about Schiller.--\u003cbr\u003eThe romantic expectation.--\u003cbr\u003eThe realistic fallacy.--\u003cbr\u003eThe artists journey into the interior: a Hegelian prophecy and its fulfillment.--\u003cbr\u003eThe importance of Nietzsche.--\u003cbr\u003eWittgenstein and Nietzsche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49678779187440,"sku":"NEW015607950X","price":622.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/the-artists-journey-into-the-interior-and-other-essays-by-h","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
